Defender Swaps Footwork for Foot Wrap…
Manchester United’s showdown with Leicester City was nearly a flawless fiesta for Ruben Amorim. With three goals, drought-ending strikers, and a spotless defense, it seemed like a script right out of Football Paradise. But alas, Ayden Heaven’s unfortunate stretcher exit mid-dance stole a bit of the spotlight.
Heaven, the newbie sensation, was dazzling on the field, bringing Zen-like calm to United’s backline. But a playful tangle with Leicester’s Patson Daka in Act Two had him signaling for help faster than a referee pulling out a yellow card. After being treated to a grand escort by medics, Heaven was later spotted rocking a fashionable protective boot—no crutches and all, giving fans a sliver of hope.
Ruben Amorim, bracing himself before facing the press, jokingly admitted that understanding young Heaven’s pain was like deciphering ancient hieroglyphics: tricky and brain-teasing. “He’s young and lost for words,” Amorim quipped, shrugging with a smile. “We’ll know more next week. Until then, it’s popcorn and patience.” United promises further updates soon, but hopefully not in cuneiform!
